I never draw enough of the environment, just the animals. So made myself draw this huge old tree that had a very cool shape. You can see the size of it by the lioness sketched in standing underneath (from TV viewing). Uniball mirco pen.

Using a different tool today, a waterproof Uni-ball vision micro pen. I had almost forgotten why these were one of my favorite pens- the ink flows so smoothly, dark and bold. Much more satisfying to draw with than those ballpoints or the pilot easytouch I'd been grabbing.

One of my kid's favorite TV shows is Dirty Jobs. She even likes watching the reruns, so when one came up I'd seen before about a snake farm, I took the opportunity to pause it and draw some big reptiles.

when they run, the young crocs can lift their bodies clear off the ground

Said to myself today: I don't know if I've ever drawn a dinosaur. So I gathered up my kid's plastic figures and drew some. Aside from triceratops, I don't know what any of these creatures are called, but they sure have interesting shapes. Two are prehistoric mammals. Ballpoint pen.
